<p>Yesterday, my DS got an email notifying him that he received a RIG of $3,000.(<a href="http://www.enrollment.rochester.edu/admissions/rig/">http://www.enrollment.rochester.edu/admissions/rig/</a>)</p>
<p>Did anyone else get this?</p>
<p>My D did in 2008–though getting one was a more complicated process then. (It was offered on a competitive basis and required the submission of a formal research proposal. 
) </p>
<p>RIGs are offered to high achieving students who mention they are interested in doing research at UR or who have done research in high school.</p>
<p>Consider it a inducement to get your son to enroll. </p>
<p>My son got the same e-mail. From the link, it looks like students can also apply for a RIG grant. It is a nice enticement. My son loves U Roch so hoping he gets enough merit to make it feasible.</p>
<p>I received one as well. I’m happy to have received it, but a little irritated that it came before any scholarship information… :/</p>
<p>A nice enticement indeed. Our son loves URoch but, like GraniteStateMom says, we hope to get enough merit to make it feasible over other (cheaper) options.</p>
<p>Does anyone know when merit aid offers will be made?</p>
<p>I emailed the admissions office and was told that scholarship offers would be sent via email ten to fourteen days after receiving the admit pack.</p>
<p>I received the RIG of $3,000 too! It’s awesome to see how much URoc supports undergrad research 
</p>
<p>I got it too! Yay </p>
